CHICAGO, July 10.--The following crop
summary will appear in this weeks issue
of the Farmers Reriw;
During the last week refreshing rains
were experienced quite generally through
ont the States of the Mississippi Valley,
though many unvisited localities suffered
from dreuth. The winter wheat harvest
is now so nearly completed rs to furnish
safe basis Of the estimate Of the yield. Es-
Inmates OF the yield per acre, by sum-
marizing the report Of our correspondents
in this issue, are as follows: For II counties
in Illinois, IL bushels; 8 counties in lndi.
ana give an average Of 1Si bushels
per acre; - counties in Kan
sls, IL bushels, which former
reports incline us TO think Ia too high.
Four counties in Kentucky, 1T bushels.
Three counties in Michigan, l3 bushels.
Seven counties in Missouri, IL Al bushels.
Twelve counties In Ohio, ID bushels, and
four counties in Wisconsin, l6a bushels.
The reports on the condition Of wheat arc
quite uniform from Dakota, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. The
lowest percentage OF condition "a COM
pared with the average crop, is 40 from
Nebraska. aud the highest II, from Wis.
consin. The spring wheat is rapidly ap..
preaching maturity aud now in spite of
drouth and insect injury gives promise OF
about three quarters OF an average crops.

In five years there have been many
notable changes in the Garfield family.
There have been no deaths, but the
children of whom the father was 80
fond have grown up. The two Older
boys have begun course in the Co
lumbia College Law School. and Harry.
the elder. has been teaching in some
Eastern school, Both arc graduates OF
Williams College. James II. Garfield
has been studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland. and is looked
upon by friends of his father rs the

He has his fathers size, complexion,

Abram and lrwin--thc latter named
for General Irwin McDowcll-are old
enough to enter a school on the Hud-
son. and left home for their dutie,
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education OF
Abram and Irwin IN the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had no
further desire TO live in city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here
added to the modest frame house ot
